STUDY: 50 percent of people don’t change their underwear daily

ALMOST 50 per cent of people don’t change their underwear every day, according to a disturbing survey.

The research – by underwear maker Tommy John – revealed that 45 per cent have worn the same pair of briefs for two days or longer.

Even worse, 13 per cent of those surveyed admitted that they’d sported the same undies for seven days or more.

Men were the worst offenders, being 2.5 times more likely than women to wear their pants for a week.

But overall, women didn’t fare much better.

A representative for Tommy John – which surveyed 1,000 Americans – told MailOnline: “These results were split fairly evenly between men and women, which throws any theories out the window that women are more hygiene-conscious than men, or vice versa.”

Tommy John’s tips for cleaning your underwear

Tumble dry your underwear on low heat for 30 minutes after washing.

Don’t mix your underwear in the same load with your significant other or children if they’re sick.
